As a result, Parton has been on the receiving end of some major honors.
She doesn’t always agree to being singled out and celebrated however.
Take, for example, her decision to turn down an appearance in theSuper Bowl Halftime Showin 2015.
Parton was asked by performerKaty Perryto join her.
“He was kind of puny and I couldn’t leave him, so I couldn’t do it.
But one of these days maybe we’ll do it again.
I love her.”
There is truly no one Tennessee is prouder of than Dolly Parton, and her kind and compassionate heart.
